General Information

Biological Significance

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major growth factor for endothelial cells. VEGFR2 is one of the two receptors of VEGF. VEGFR2 also known as kinase insert domain receptor is a type 3 receptor tyrosine kinase. The main function of VEGFR2 is the mediation of VEGF-related endothelial survival and proliferation, migration, tubular morphogenesis and sprouting.
